Written evidence to be reported to the House
Planning Bill
11:00 am
Tom Brake (Shadow Minister, Department for Communities and Local Government; Carshalton and Wallington, Liberal Democrat)
The Government have indicated that, on national policy statements, they will intervene only if there is a national security consideration or if the national policy statement is out of date. Various organisations are advocating that the Minister should perhaps also be able to intervene when there are significant issues around sustainability. Is that something that the business community would oppose?
